How did Alfred Wegeners theory support the theory of seafloor spreading?
He supported the Seafloor Spreading Theory by first discovering the Continental Drift Theory.
What is another name for the Continental Drift theory?
the theory of sea floor spreading
What does seafloor spreading have to do with the theory of continental drift?
Seafloor Spreading helped move the Continents to their current location.
What supported Wagner's theory of continental drift?
Several evidences were given as proof to the theory of continental drift, they include; 1. Climatic evidence (Paleoclimatic Reconstruction). 2. Fossil evidence (Paleontological proof). 3. Continental fit. (Continental margin shapes). 4. Lithological and Stratigrapical similarities of adjacent continental masses. 5. Seafloor spreading. 6. Glacial till. 7. Plate tectonics.
Who proposed the theory of seafloor spreading based on maps of the ocean floor?
The Seafloor Spreading Theory was proposed by Harry Hess.
What are the similarities of the continental drift theory sea floor spreading and the plate tectonics theory?
the similarities of this 3 theory is,,,, they are all theory....
Did seafloor spreading prove the theory of continental drift?
Seafloor spreading helped prove the theory of continental drift. Pangea theory also helped.
How did Alfred Wegeners theory support the theory of seafloor spreading?

What is another name for the Continental Drift theory?
the theory of sea floor spreading
What is seafloor spreading that ''helps'' the theory of continental drift?
How seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift is that wegener couldn't explain why and waht force caused the continents to move and so seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift because it shows the force that made the continents move and that was te only thing that wagener needed to prove his theory of continental drift............thanks

Seafloor Spreading helped move the Continents to their current location.
Does the theory of plate tectonics contain both seafloor spreading and continental drift?
Yes. The theory of plate tectonics is very broad, and it covers seafloor spreading, continental drift, plate boundaries and so on.
Who had the sea floor spreading theory?
Harry Hess came up with the theory of seafloor spreading . Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of continental drift NOT sea-floor spreading.
